...long ago, West says, a DuPont executive boasted to him about how well his company was now treating the environment. Jolly good, West replied, but was DuPont also prepared for how the environment might treat DuPont? "I asked how many of his company's 300-odd facilities around the world were located in floodplains," West says. Global warming will bring increased risks to anyone located in a floodplain. "He didn't know," West recalls. "I said, 'Don't you think you should...
...Snow's case, doctors removed his colon in 2005, and treated him with chemotherapy to eliminate any remaining cells and contain satellite growths that might have broken off from the primary tumor. After undergoing surgery to remove a growth from his right pelvic area, doctors discovered additional growths in his liver. According to Dr. Raymond DuBois, incoming provost of MD Anderson Cancer Center and a colon cancer specialist, it's not unusual to see additional growths several months or years following such a procedure.

Connections that started in one area produced shared insights in totally different fields. The business of Harvard is to produce knowledge through the connection of scholars and students; Faust has spent her life thinking...
...offering an olive branch to his Sunni rivals. His most recent Friday prayer, usually delivered to excitable crowds, was handed out on flyers in Sadr City. In it he asked his followers to unite with all Iraqis. "Reject all division and factionalism, sectarian and civil war," read the missive. "Treat your brother Iraqis as brothers. Do not discriminate between Sunni and Shi'ite at all, and nor against others, so that you be the highest example of all this." Instead he asked them to focus their rage against another enemy: "Raise your voices in love and brotherhood and unity against...
